Michihiro Matsuoka: Childhood Dreams @ Artishox Gallery

October 15, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

DAF favourite Michihiro Matsuoka is having his first European exhibition entitled “Childhood Dreams” at Artishox Gallery in Hasselt, Belgium.

“Born in 1969, living and working in Ichinomiya-shi, Aichi, Japan. Matsuoka finds inspiration from his childhood memories and deteriorated toys and devices out of that period. He urges the viewer a kind of nostalgic feeling with the ´worn-out´ sculptures that are a blend of various animals, fish, boats, vehicles and machinery. Matsouka primarily uses industrial resin clay and other materials for his work. The sculptures are meticulously finished with acrylic paint, which aids his desire to express the progression of time.”

“Childhood Deams” runs through November 27, 2011.  For more information, visit MichihiroMatsuoka.com or Artishox.com. You can also see photos from the exhibition on Artishox’s Facebook Page.

Note: The images below are examples of Matsuoka’s recent work. Contact Artishox Gallery for available pieces.

Michihiro Matsuoka: Sculpture

March 27, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

More great work from Japanese sculptor Michihiro Matsouka. Matsouka finds inspiration from his childhood memories and deteriorated devices. Creating worn out devices that fuse animals and fish with machinery, Matsouka primarily uses stone clay for his work, but will incorporate other materials that seem to be suitable. The sculptures are meticulously finished with acrylic paint, which aids his desire to express the progression of time.”
